Company Overview: Easee

Easee is a relatively young EV charger manufacturer, set up by Norwegian entrepreneurs in 2018. However, Easee has gained market leadership in Norway, in a relatively short span of time. The company has also gained a strong presence in the broader Scandinavian region and continues to grow its geographic footprint, exporting to over 23 countries. The company has sold over 500,000 EV chargers.

Easee has been recognised for its Scandinavian influenced modern and minimalist design, blending easily into a residential or business environment. Apart from design, the Easee EV chargers are also technically strong and at par with some of the leading global EV charge point manufacturers.

The company employs over 250 individuals and continues to grow its workforce. The core vision of the three co-founders is to create the ‘world’s smartest electric vehicle charger’. The electric vehicle chargers are developed and manufactured in Norway. The company’s long-term vision also includes DC rapid charging.

The Easee EV chargers have much to offer for both residential and business EV charging needs. For a start, the EV chargers are developed and built to a high standard. In fact, the Easee EV chargers are manufactured in Norway. The company offers a 3 year warranty for its Easee One home charger and the Easee Charge commercial EV charger.

The intelligent EV chargers have been built to comply with local regulations, and are offered in multiple colour options. Few EV charger manufacturers offer the spread of colour options offered by Easee. Having said that, we at e-zoomed prefer the black EV charger. It looks smart and black is practical for the long-term.

The Easee electric car chargers are also weatherproof. The chargers have an IP54 certification, which is certainly helpful given the weather in Ireland. However, we always recommend installing the EV charger at a location most protected from the elements. Easee EV chargers incorporate 11 sensors and intelligent temperature measurement to keep the EV charging operation safe.

The chargers also incorporates an integrated open PEN conductor protection (no need for earth rod), saving time and money during installation. The Easee charger weights 1.5 kg, significantly less compared to some of the competitor EV chargers. Easee claims its chargers ‘save the environment at least 4 kg of copper and plastic per produced charger’.

The Easee commercial EV chargers also offer dynamic load balancing. Easee enables load balancing of up to 101 Charging Robots on a single circuit. Such chargers are suitable for premises that need to charge a number of electric cars simultaneously. For example, residential apartment blocks.

The company has a comprehensive vision for its long-term future. According to Easee, “Our ambitions further lie in becoming one of the largest companies in green technology in Europe within 2026, and one of the largest in the world within 2031′. We at e-zoomed certainly wish them the very best!

Untethered EV Chargers: Two Key Advantages

Flexibility: Type 1/ Type 2

Though most of the recent introductions of electric cars are Type 2 EV charging, there are some electric vehicles (EVs) that still continue to use the Type 1 charging standard. With an untethered ‘socket only’ electric car charger, the user is not restricted to either Type 1 or Type 2 EV charging. Put another way, an untethered EV charger is a ‘universal’ charger, compatible with all types of electric vehicles. This is well suited for households or businesses that may have different type of electric vehicles.

Flexibility: EV Cable length

A tethered EV charger i.e. a charger with a permanently attached cable, limits the user in terms of distance between the electric car and the EV charger. However, with an untethered EV charger, the electric car can be charged with varying distances i.e. EV cables of varying lengths. This is most suitable for premises that have parking constraints, or may need a significantly longer EV cable for charging. It is not uncommon for lengths up to 50m to be used for charging an electric car. Do keep in mind that the standard length of an EV cable attached to a tethered EV charger is usually less than 8m i.e. very restrictive.
